I'm not sure why people think that RHEL6 kernel is pure 2.6.32. It is
definitely not!

For snapshot merging, I am not an expert here but googling for 'rhel6
lvm snapshot merging'
gave me this:

http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/rhel6/rhel_6_lvm_admi n/rhel_6_lvm_snapshot_merge.html

and this:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/58510

Both articles suggest RHEL6 kernel supports LVM snapshot merging, and so
should
OpenVZ RHEL6-based kernel.

PS If you are using non-rhel6 openvz kernel, it's definitely time to
switch, and lots of reasons
to do that besides LVM snapshot merging. Notable things are vswap,
ploop, stability...
